Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Rice and beans is a Nigerian weekday staple: long-grain rice and black-eyed or honey beans cooked together in one pot, either plain with onion and a little oil to be eaten with stew, or jollof-style in tomato stew and chicken stock. It stretches a pot of rice, it is what many families cook on Saturdays, and it is served with fried plantain, fried chicken or fish and a spoon of pepper stew. Ghana's waakye is the same idea with sorghum leaves for colour.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 7 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
